The Milward Nylon Dress and Skirt Zip (100.20.147) is an essential component for both home sewing enthusiasts and professionals looking to add durable, reliable closures to garments. Featuring a no. 2 coil nylon construction, this 20cm closed-end zipper is perfectly suited for dresses, skirts, and trousers, offering a discreet and flexible fastening solution. While it provides excellent functionality for standard apparel, users should note that the 20cm length makes it best suited for specific garment sections rather than full-length coat or heavy-duty applications.

This is a no. 2 coil zip, which is quite delicate. While it can work on lighter denim, it is primarily intended for dress and skirt fabrics.
Because this is a closed-end zip, shortening it requires advanced sewing skills to create a new bottom stop. It is recommended to choose the correct size for your project.
Yes, Milward offers a range of colors and lengths; however, this specific model (100.20.147) is in Dark Navy.
No, this is a closed-end zipper, meaning it is anchored at the bottom.
Use a low heat setting and a pressing cloth, as high heat can melt or deform the nylon coil.
Check for loose threads trapped in the coil or apply a small amount of wax to lubricate the track.
Adjust the position of the zipper foot or re-pin the fabric closer to the coil before sewing.
Ensure the bottom stop is securely sewn and reinforced with a bar tack to prevent the slider from sliding past the end.
For best results, use a standard zipper foot on your sewing machine to ensure the needle can get close to the teeth without damaging the coil. Pin the tape securely to the fabric before stitching to prevent shifting. When laundering garments fitted with this zipper, it is recommended to keep the zip fully closed to prevent the teeth from catching on other fabrics or the drum of the machine. If the zip feels stiff over time, a light application of paraffin wax to the teeth can restore smooth movement.
